How are your Communication Skills?

Consider the number of times you have communicated with someone in the past 24 hours. How do you communicate with others? How do others communicate with you?

Do you consider yourself a competent communicator?

It is through internal and external interactions, whether intentional or unintentional, that we develop relationships, solve problems, resolve conflicts, make decisions, manage tasks, and create goals for the future.

Discover the various forms of communication, identify the differences, and examine the characteristics, channels, triggers, objectives, contexts, and functions of Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Intercultural Communication. Learn best practices and established strategies to build competent communication skills in these three key areas:

· Intra (inside) Personal (within yourself)

· Inter (between) Personal (yourself and others)

· Inter (between) Cultural (yourself and other cultures)

For many of us, communication is like taking a breath because it is necessary for life. Understanding the forms of communication will help you use communication skills in ways that will greatly enhance your personal, professional, and public lives.
